My charter includes all of the User Interface engineering across the entire HP Helion Cloud Organization; our Developer Experience efforts (SDK’s, CLI’s, IDE integrations, Developer Portal, and CI/CD workflow); and our Service Marketplace. I have deep experience and passion for the UI and Developer Experience space. At Rackspace, I led the groups that built control panels, API’s, SDK’s, and internal support tools. I also built up Rackspace’s Developer Relations Group into a strong organization of nearly 30 developer evangelists. At Yahoo, I was one of the top front-end engineers / architects, and led the architecture and engineering for Open Social and Yahoo Finance. My teams include the Horizon team, the Developer Experience team, and the Marketplace team.

Lead multiple cross functional teams (70 rackers) responsible for building out scalable, highly distributed web applications to enable Rackspace support staff to deliver "Fanatical Support" to Rackspace customers. Built out fully a staffed and capable Product Management team, six engineering teams and a dev/ops team. Utilizing cutting edge technologies like MongoDB, Elastic Search and AngularJS, these teams rebuilt our support tools from scratch. In addition to leading our internal tools development efforts, I also took on the responsibility for the Rackspace Developer Relations Group. Grew the DRG from 3 to 28 people in a period of 9 months. Focusing on key hires in the industry, I assembled a top notch team of SDK authors, Evangelists, API Documentation specialists and developer support roles.
